what you please; but if your thoughts run
in unOrthodox grooves, politeness, at least,
would forbid you to express them with UNI
necessary bluntness before persons who are
orthodox. It is profitless thing to go bray
ing about what you think, in defiance Of the
powerful thing that calls itself public opin-
ion. Those who do that sort of thing receive
the name of cranks.
Sunday bathing at the beach is discouraged
not because the commissioners believe cleanli-
ness to be an offense against the sanctity of
the day, but to avoid the joyous hilarity
which will prevail where young persons of
both sexes splash around together in the surf.
Eight o'clock in the morning is the extreme
limit of time for Sunday bathers Few, in
deed, are the disciples of cleanliness who will
sacrifice their morning nap to the seductions
of the sea.
The regulations" on the beach are evil
IDENTIFY not considered quite enough to enforce
the decorum desired by the park officials.
Here and there is placard bearing this le
gend in big letters made into display lines of
high typographical art ''Modesty of apparel
is as becoming to lady in a bathing suit as
it is to lady dressed in silk or satin" Then,
to further make it plain that nothing fantastic
will DO tolerated, the following Significant
line Is added: "A word to the wise is Sutfi-
Gent" H..
At no place on the coast is there better surf
or more interest taken in bathing. 1t takes
twice the number of bathers to do the look
ing on. Said lockers on seat themselves in
the sand, on the steps and on the pavilion,
above and below. Some are in bathing cos
tune, some in airy, fairy garments and some
IN flannel and serge. Infants in arn,s AMI
patriarchs help make up the throng. Tho
patriarchs rush into the foam as gay as you
please, too, forgetting for the moment that
they are patriarchs and that anything heavy
in the way of conduct is expected of them.
That is one of the chief benefits of seaside
resort like this. Everything is on the COM

Rules of Diet.

No rule can be laid down as to diet "One
mans meat" etc. Only, no food should be
consumed rapidly, and summer holidays
might be devoted to much worse ends than
cultivation Of habit Of eating leisurely.
When open air exercise takes the place Of in
door quiet, much more food is needed than at
home, and it is never well to attempt nights
sleep upon an empty stomach. Only the hu-
man among animals would try it, and he is
beginning to learn better. Milk and eggs are
far more difficult to obtain fresh in country
than in town; and dash Of lime water in
every glass of milk, with cautious handling Of
eggs, is advisable. The ancient maxim
Arise hungry from meat, might have been
excellent for those days when regularity OF
meal arrivals were not the rule; now it is far
better to eat all that a patient stomach will
care for, and then give it plenty of time to
do its work. A full stomach is a great con-
soler.--American Magazine.

they could do that all the time they need
never grow old. How young and jolly even
the oldest of them look, playing there with
the children in the sand.
1t only costs twenty-five cents to hathe
here. That includes a good bathing dress
aud the use of a dressing room. Hot salt
water baths are only thirty cents apiece: or
you can buy four tickets for ST. Other
things are proportionately cheap. You can
hire pony and phaeton at seventy-fve cents
an hour and drive whithersoever you will.
A carriage and driver can be had for very
little more. Stages run to and from the
station and charge only five cents passenger.
Soda fountains give forth their best at five
cents glass, Ice cream in pretty gardens
goes Off at an alluring figure. Boarding is
cheap. 1t ranges from s. to SIS a week, lust
as it does elsewhere, room and location being
taken into account Table fare is exception
ally good here at almost every house. Some
of the unpretentious boarding houses furnish
as good as the most expensive hotels: but. of
course, at the hotels the serving is an affair
Of more splendor. Women represent A very
important part of the commercial interests
Of Asbury Park. The main business of the
place is keeping boarders; and It is safe to
say that four-ffths OF this business is in the
hands OF women. Yet l doubt not when the
census man comes around he will put them
all down as doing nothing, or at best as
housekeepers. Many own their own houses,
Some live here winter and summer. for be il
understood this city by the STA is not entirely
deserted in the winter. Every year more
and more of its inhabitants remain perma-
nently. Quite number of the transients
stay during September, as that is the most
charming month by the sea-the very best
time for bathing.
AS for our colored friends, they are going
on at their usual gait, neither leaving the
Park nor foregoing their privileges. Crowds
of them collect on the walk at the beach, and
one has to edge through the group if one
would go farther. They battle, just like
white folk and at the same time, when they
t.ke the notion; have looked for "color

The idea of Asbury Park was an inspira-
tion. As reality it approximates the con-
ception of its founder nearer than anything
in the nature of corporation has ever before
done on earth. Here, indeed, has dream of
dwelling together in peace and comfort and
cheapness been realized. And then the place
is not merely beautiful but beneficial

habits and slender purses could summer in
comfort, with ocean baths thrown in, sea air

attended with the tragedy Of declining values.
1t was nothing in 1870. 1t is now by actual
census city of more than 81 900 population,
and 1t has bet upon its prospects In real estate
matters on the basis Of its sum being $25O, 900.
Lots are 25x100 feet in size, and there are six
solid square miles OF these, to say nothing Of
a few thousand more outside. The six square
miles make the city limits, and at this rate
the territory makes over go 900 lots, or Civ
ing two lots to family Of five, enough to
supply 10000 people with homes fifty feet
front. The lands outside of the city, which
are plotted, will greatly increase these figures,
and farms which were year ago doing well
as cornRelds at from $50 to 800 are now
growing crops of real estate signs at from
81 600 to IS, 900 an acre.
When the great boom was on anything sold
and the transactions were enormous. For
weeks the real estate transfers amounted
to over $2, 900 600 week, and the man who
bought today could sell for double what he
had paid tomorrow. The whole town turned
its attention to the real estate business, and
the number Of real estate agents ran up into
the thousands. Toward the decline of the
boom the city council made real estate agents
pay license, and 963 of such licenses were
taken out. A year ago the town contained
10000 people, and its assessed valuation OF
real estate, railroad and personal property
footed up 81, ,534. This gives you some
idea Of the size Of the city in January, when
its real estate transfers amounted to total of
IS, 497, 055, or more than twice its assessed
value Of few months before. The bank
clearings Of twenty-five days Of this month
amounted to $6,O0O,Ooo This enormous bust
ness kept up through February and ran on
into March. Street railroads and cable lines
were projected into the surrounding country
hundreds Of new additions were laid out and
a half dozen large colleges were begun, to
make the coming city a seat Of learning as
well as business. Rents doubled, residence
property jumped to many times its value as
prospective business property. and spectators
by the thousands focked into Wichita to buy
and sell as wildly as its citizens themselves.
The banks coined money ON their deposits,
and several Of those here had deposits run
ming for q long time as high as 81 900, OOO
though their capital is only 100000 or $780,
200. They lent money here at from 10 to IL
oer cent on the best of security, and during
the real estate boom almost any interest could
be gotten. When property doubled in a
night, and an investment of 81 900 often be-
came $4,000 In a week, no one complained,
and the dollars were as plenty as Kansas sun
flowers. ...,

OF course this thing had to have an end,
and 1t is pretty well ended now. The trans
fers have fallen down to almost nothing, the
madding crowd has fled from the wide
streets Of Wichita, and the town begins to drop
to hard pan basis The reckoning up will yet
have to come, and there will undoubtedly be
much of this unproductive, inflated property
thrown upon the market. Not few mort
cages will be foreclosed, and the chance for
legitimate Investment with speculative prof.
its will then be at hand. Wichita will be
much bigger town than she is now and there
will soon be a chance to buy property at fair
rates. AS the vice president of the biggest
bank told me, the town will have to CONE
down to somewhere near the range OF inter
est bearing rates, and those who have bet SO
largely on the future will have to lose. The
cheap property now in Wichita and in Kan
sas City is the business property and the res
idence property in the old parts Of the town.
which is still sold as residence property. AL
outside of this with but few exceptions is
speculative and most of it very high.

mail time is worth seeing. The two general
delivery holes for men are labeled, and there
is hole between these for the ladies. These
are set in a wall of boxes which runs around
a big Enclosure inside of a room perhaps 100
feet square. Above these, as in Kansas City
there is sign directing you to fall in line,
and at mail time long lines OF men are
stretched out in single file waiting to get their
turn at the windows. They are of all char
acters, from the darkey and the broad
brimmed cowboy, with his pants in his boots,
to the New York dude or the red headed, eye
glassed man from Boston. As high as fifty
and a hundred often stand thus In file, and
the waiting is tiresome but good natured.
